Do you find yourself seething in the checkout line at Eataly because you are trying to buy your partner their favorite Harry’s Berries and they aren’t answering their phone? Or maybe you picked a fight with them after a lovely dinner at The Great White, when they didn’t offer to stay at your place for the night. Wondering why these seemingly small moments cut so deep? Read on to learn how attachment wounds can cause reactivity in relationships and how EMDR therapy can help you stay calm and connected.

Flourish Mindset, based in Walnut Creek, California, distinguishes itself by incorporating an attachment-informed approach into their EMDR therapy. Attachment theory emphasizes the importance of early relationships in shaping an individual's psychological well-being. By considering attachment dynamics, therapists at Flourish Mindset create a safe and secure therapeutic environment, promoting healing through the lens of secure attachment.

The landscape of mental health treatment is evolving, giving rise to alternative therapies that can offer profound healing where traditional approaches may fall short. The recent Apple TV+ docuseries titled "The Me You Can't See" has illuminated the significance of alternative therapies, with Prince Harry's revelation about the therapeutic benefits of EMDR therapy capturing the spotlight.

EMDR therapy is an evidenced-based method of treatment for trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD and other mental health concerns. Evidence-based means that there has been research conducted to support its effectiveness. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) was founded by Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1995. Since then, there have been countless research studies demonstrating its effectiveness. In particular, EMDR has been found to get results for folx who have experienced traumatic events much more quickly than talk therapy.
